BEST 2115 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does "thumb piece always active" mean on the 2115?
The outside thumb piece trim always retracts the latch, so the door is never locked from the exterior by the device itself. It is the function you want on a corridor or vestibule door that has to stay operable from both sides, not on a perimeter door you need secured after hours. If you need a locked outside condition, choose a different function in the Precision 2100 Series.
2) Will this device latch into the strike that's already on my frame?
The 2115 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw, which is the standard rim-device throw, so it mates with a normal rim strike. The 2100 Series is also built to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations, which is what usually makes the difference on a replacement job.
3) I'm replacing an old panic bar on an aluminum storefront door. Does the 2115 drop in?
Only if the door has a wide stile. The 2115 is a wide stile device and will not fit a narrow stile storefront leaf. For narrow stile aluminum, go to a narrow stile rim device instead, like the Adams Rite 8800 Series (also rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick) or the Corbin Russwin ED4200. Where the stile is wide enough, the 2100 Series does retrofit other makers' hole patterns.
4) Can I use the Precision 2115 on a fire door?
Yes, if you order the fire-rated version. Rating is a required choice between Non-Rated (Standard) and Fire-Rated. The device is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware to UL10C and UBC 7-2. One caution: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged, so the cylinder and hex dogging options belong on non-rated openings.
5) Will the 2115 work with my card reader or electronic exterior trim?
It's built for it. The 2115 uses a center driven cam that accepts electronic exterior trim tailpieces with a minimum 50 degree rotation. Check the rotation spec on your reader trim before ordering, because trim with less than 50 degrees of tailpiece travel will not retract the latch.
6) Can I put the BEST Precision 2115 on a wood door?
No. The Precision 2115 is not rated for wood door applications. If the opening is a wood door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device are both Grade 1 and are listed as wood door compatible. Both are narrow stile devices, so confirm the stile dimension on your wood leaf before committing.
7) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the BEST Precision 2115 if I need a different brand on the same opening?
The Precision 2115 is a wide stile rim exit device carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series in the 48 inch exit only configuration matches most closely on the numbers that matter: it is Grade 1, wide stile, heavy duty, and lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is another wide stile Grade 1 rim device at 36 inches, though it lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where the 2115 differs from both is the always active thumb piece trim function, so if the opening needs outside access at all times you will need to match trim function as well as device size.
8) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile. What rim exit device should I use instead of the 2115?
The Precision 2115 is built as a wide stile device and will not fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront rail. For that opening look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device, which is Grade 1 and lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches. The Falcon 19-R at 36 inches and the TownSteel ED3700 at 36 inches are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices. Measure your stile width before ordering, since narrow stile devices are sized to the rail, not the door leaf.
9) I need a fire rated rim exit device. How does the 2115 compare to other fire rated options?
The Precision 2115 is orderable in a fire rated configuration and is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware to UL10C and UBC 7-2. Other fire rated rim devices include the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim device, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit only, the Orca OED85 36 inch exit only, and the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches. The 2115 differs from those in being a wide stile device offered with always active thumb piece trim, while the Marks, Orca and Arrow units listed are exit only. Fire rated devices cannot be dogged, so plan trim function accordingly.
10) The opening needs electric latch retraction. Is the 2115 the right choice or should I look at an electrified device from another brand?
The Precision 2115 can be ordered with electric latch retraction or motorized latch retraction, along with latchbolt and touchbar monitoring switches and delayed egress, so the electrification is built into the same wide stile Grade 1 device. Alternatives include the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified architectural rim device, a wide stile unit listing 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the Dormakaba electrified rim 36 inch device with 4908A trim in a classroom function. The SDC unit covers a narrower door thickness band than the 2115, which is specified for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so on a thicker leaf the Precision is the one that spans it.
11) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar the same thing as the Precision 2115 exit device?
No, and substituting one for the other changes how the door locks. The Precision 2115 is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with 3/4 inch throw, UL listed as panic and fire exit hardware. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar and the SDC PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar are release bars that signal an electromagnetic lock rather than carrying a latch of their own, and both are listed for narrow or wide stile. If your opening is secured by a maglock, one of those bars is the correct part; if the door latches into a rim strike, the 2115 is.
12) Will the Precision 2115 retrofit holes left by another manufacturer's exit device?
The 2100 Series is designed to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations, which is the usual reason it is chosen when replacing an existing wide stile device. It is reversible for all functions and trims and ships standard RHRB, so handing is not a separate order decision. Verify the existing device is a rim type before planning the swap, since concealed vertical rod units such as the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad device and the Hager 4601 narrow stile unit prep the door differently and are not a hole-for-hole exchange with a rim device.
13) I need a nightlatch function instead of always active outside trim. What should I order?
The Precision 2115 is the thumb piece always active function, meaning the outside trim retracts the latch at all times. If you want the outside trim to work only when a key is used, that is a nightlatch function: the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 nightlatch rim exit device in a narrow design, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device offered with night latch trim. Choose by stile as well as function, since the Sargent unit is narrow stile and the 2115 and the Detex are wide stile.
14) Do I have to order the 2115 handed?
No. It ships RHRB as standard and is field reversible for all functions and trims, so one device covers either hand. Reverse it on site rather than ordering a second part number.
15) What door widths do the 36 inch and 48 inch 2115 devices cover?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch, and the series covers openings up to 4'-0" wide. Size the bar to the leaf: the 36 inch device suits a 3'-0" leaf and the 48 inch suits a 4'-0" leaf. Do not fit a long bar to a short door, the touchbar has to sit within the stiles.
16) Should I pick cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging?
Hex key dogging is the low cost choice for a non-rated door where staff hold the bar down during business hours. Cylinder dogging lets you dog and undog with a key, which is what most property managers want when the person opening up carries keys and not tools. Less dogging is the right call on any fire-rated opening, since fire exit hardware is not permitted to be dogged.
17) Do I need to order trim separately with the 2115?
You choose it on the order. Pull trim is available as 1715A, 1715B or 1715C grip styles, or you can take the device only with no trim if the outside face is pull-only or you are reusing existing trim. Since this is the always-active thumb piece function, the outside trim is what people use to get in, so specify a grip unless the door is exit only.
18) Can I use a rim exit device like this on a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair you need a removable mullion for the 2115 to latch against. If you cannot use a mullion because the opening has to stay clear, a vertical rod device is the right type instead, latching at the head and threshold. Hager's 4501 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device for that situation.
19) I only need an exit only panic bar with no outside trim. Is the 2115 overkill?
The Precision 2115 is configured with always active thumb piece trim, which means it is built for openings that need outside entry as well as free egress. If the door only needs egress, a device catalogued as exit only is the simpler order: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only rim device, the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, and the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile device is Grade 1 extra heavy duty. The 2115 can still be ordered with no trim, so if you want the Precision device channel on the door with nothing outside, that remains available.
20) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or 5500 a direct substitute for the Precision 2115?
They are not equivalent on certification. The Precision 2115 carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification to ANSI 156.3, while the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar rim device and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar rim device are both listed as Grade 2 heavy duty. If your specification calls out Grade 1 on the drawing, the Cal-Royal units will not satisfy it. For a Grade 1 wide stile alternative in a similar size, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors.
21) What is the difference between the Precision 2115 touchbar and a crossbar style rim device?
The Precision 2115 uses a touchbar with a heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel cover and channel. Crossbar rim devices operate on the same principle but present a horizontal bar standing off the door rather than a flush pad: the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is a wide stile exit only unit. Crossbar hardware is often chosen to match existing crossbar devices elsewhere in a building; the 2115 touchbar gives a flatter profile and accepts the electrified and monitoring options in the 2100 line.
22) For a high abuse opening like a school exterior door, is there anything heavier than the Precision 2115?
The Precision 2115 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with cover, touchbar, device channel, fillers and end cap in heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel, which is the top mechanical grade for panic hardware. Within the comparable Grade 1 wide stile devices, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch is classified extra heavy duty, and the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile unit carries the same extra heavy duty classification. The TownSteel ED9700 36 inch and the Dormakaba DORMA 8300 Series are further Grade 1 wide stile options. The 2115 adds the always active thumb piece trim and a weatherized 626W finish along with weatherized touchbar monitoring switches for exposed exterior openings.
23) Is there a weatherized finish for an exterior door?
Yes. 626W Satin Chrome Weatherized is offered alongside the standard finishes, and the weatherized touchbar monitoring switches (WTS and WTDS) pair with it for exterior openings. The full finish list runs 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626W, 628 satin aluminum, 630 satin stainless and 690 statuary dark bronze.
24) Is the Detex 00 Series dummy device an alternative to the Precision 2115 on an inactive leaf?
They serve different roles. The Precision 2115 is a functioning rim exit device with a deadlocking latchbolt and always active thumb piece trim. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile dummy exit device, so it matches the look of a working device without latching, which is what an inactive leaf or a matched pair appearance usually calls for. Use the 2115 on the leaf that must latch and egress, and reserve a dummy device for the leaf that does not.
